For all the people who want a happy artikel about Christmas, I'm sorry to let anda down, and maybe I'm a little pessimistic but now I'm getting older this is how I think about Christmas:
Five years lalu (I was nine) I was sitting in my aunts car on Krismas Eve, and we were talking about a tv tunjuk in Holland called 'all anda need is love'
I don't know if anda know, atau have the tunjuk in America but the tv tunjuk is about people who get unexpected visits from people that they love,and then, for one night, they can forget all their problems and enjoy Chrismas Eve together. I thought that it was a silly show, they have a great day, but when the great hari is over, they still have their problems.
My aunt (who was married to my uncle) thought that it was a great tunjuk and she was saying things like 'all anda need is love' and 'I'm so glad that I've found realy love'
A couple months later, my uncle got a new girlfriend and my uncle and aunt got divorced.
I'm thinking about this now, because my uncle is coming, today, for Christmas, to have makan malam, majlis makan malam with us, but I know that my aunt (and the two children that my uncle and my aunt have) is still sad and that she will have a lousy Christmas.
And that brings me to my problem: how can anda be happy at Krismas while anda know that a lot of people are sad. Everyone is happy at Christmas, people say but anda know that that is not true.
A lot of people pretend that they are having fun with Krismas and that they are happy. But anda know that after the 'happy days' like Krismas and New tahun they're still unhappy, just like they were during Krismas and New Year. No stupid holiday can change that.
Maybe I thought about this way to much, and I know that anda are suppose to enjoy Krismas and that anda are suppose to have fun. And I think that I will try to be happy, but, tonight, when I'm sitting at the meja, jadual during the Krismas dinner, while my uncle and his new girlfriend are making jokes,I will think about my aunt and her two kids who will pretend that they have a 'great' Christmas.
P.S: This is my first soapbox article, and my English is not so good, I've tried to make no mistakes in the grammar, but I'm shure that there are lot of mistakes, sorry.
P.P.S: Merry Krismas to everyone!
